Summer (lazy) recipe

炎炎夏日 懶人食譜:

茭白筍/菜瓜/地瓜----(經濟/健康/重點是:不用洗太多鍋碗瓢盤)

一袋地瓜 85元 三條菜瓜50元 茭白筍X 12支 120元

黃肉地瓜先丟入電鍋蒸,放涼後,放在冰箱冷涷庫,食用前拿出解凍---早餐

菜瓜,去皮切片後,炒....(不知多久/軟熟就可)...加入麵條,再煮熟---中餐

茭白筍,水煮開後,丟入,悶熟----晚餐

ps. 這比煮碗泡麵等級還要高一丁點兒。

十年

在照相機前, Twins 人沒變太多,攝影師如是說........當年的青春面孔,是如此昂然如此的無塵埃,和現在相比,神情裏多了一份怯怯不願回首,另一頭,也有連三年的情義相挺和那不再單純,不再一切了然於心的相識相知.......十年前,昂首開步前行,要看天有多高地有多遠,沒想到,卻被那好傻好天真跘一跤;十年前,是個直腸子一句話,這十年後,漫天紛擾之中,肚裏話不願再明說,一路瞻前顧後,袛怕遭著兵刃命隨傾。人海江湖裏,十年轉眼即過....

A faraway swimming pool

小朋友和她娘說，想學游泳....這並不是什麼很大的要求;袛不過,住家方圓15公里附近,沒一座較俱規模的游泳池。若是弄一個塑膠充氣泳池，池小水淺，好像也不能教小朋友學游泳，也是浪費水。找了座有教學課程的游池，開車半個小時帶姐姐去上課；我們家大姐姐很高興，有那麼一大片水池可玩，教練也有方法來帶小朋友邊玩邊學。真希望住家附近也有管理較佳／水質也好的游池可供選擇。

Poison that you pay for

The full extent of this food contamination is yet clear. Consumers are given a rude awakening in this incident: tainted health supplements, beverages and food have been poisoning our body all along for at least five years. Parents are especially angry because they purchased nutrient supplements for kid out of love, but only to find their kids' health irreversibly damaged. The government is a total disappointment in this nation-wide scandal; when a lab technitian detected this abnormal presence of prohibited chemicals, the health authority didn't respond immediately. Instead, it withheld this piece of information for more than 1 month, and subsequent responses failed to convince people that the government is here with people, or for people's rights and interests.

Faith and a free ticket

Tomato and Tax Season

More and more neighbors have decided to utilize their small path of garden to the fullest. Herbs, common veges, and fruits have been the favorite choice now instead of the old-school flowers. So much for the tax season.

News anchors keep telling the world that the end is coming. Scientists and politicians could not guarantee anything. Even if tomorrow is the final chapter of the world, many probably will still remain who they are and celebrate life the way they have been doing. Life is so wonderful.

外省人的二二八事件--澎湖七一三事件

匪諜，是怎樣做成的／王鼎鈞

我在一 九四九年五月踏上台灣寶島，七月，澎湖即發生「山東流亡學校煙台聯合中學匪諜」冤案，那是對我的當頭棒喝，也是對所有的外省人一個下馬威。當年中共席捲大 陸，人心浮動，蔣介石總統自稱「我無死所」，國民政府能在台灣立定腳跟，靠兩件大案殺開一條血路，一件「二二八」事件懾伏了本省人，另一件煙台聯合中學冤 案懾伏了外省人，就這個意義來說，兩案可以相提並論。

外省人的二二八事件--澎湖七一三事件

派軍隊"清鄉"向來都是軍閥整肅統治區反抗事件的工具,二二八不是台灣才有。國民黨在大陸各地各省,對反抗事件的回應,就是派軍隊下鄉"抓人"--以刀槍和人民的血淚來立威。這也是為什麼,國民黨那麼快速的失去民心,丟掉大陸。

The 228 Incident, also known as the 228 Massacre, was an anti-government uprising in Taiwan that began on February 27, 1947, and was violently suppressed by the Kuomintang (KMT) government. Estimates of the number of deaths vary from 10,000 to 30,000 or more.[1][2] The Incident marked the beginning of the Kuomintang's White Terror period in Taiwan, in which thousands more inhabitants vanished, died, or were imprisoned. The number "228" refers to the day the massacre began: February 28, or 02-28.

陸一特

在高登島上,精通據點火炮槍械的是一群老兵。他們是陸軍第一特種兵。剛到島上時,是這群老兵教我熟悉島上的環境,如何操作30/50機槍來實施驅離射擊,如何善用坑道的泉水燒開水給全據點弟兄,在伸手不見五指漆墨夜色中和狗兒一起站衛兵,提防對岸的水鬼摸上來。那時島上天天都是構築工事--挖坑道,興建新的岸哨據點;構工休息時,聽到這些老兵談論退伍後要如何大展長才。台灣家鄉的父母,那等待許久的女朋友和一個自由的天空,都是支撐大伙兒向前再邁進一步的動力。"去你的主義領袖責任榮譽國家,平安退伍回家才是真的",這句話在日子難過時--在馬祖冬天刺骨寒風中,波濤波濤洶湧海灘上扛一包包沈重資材上岸時;在執行那些永無盡頭的演習中--老兵們特愛掛在嘴上。

點綴島上黃土坡地上是反空降與固守海岸線如的高大瓊麻、帶尖扎人的南國薊和不能入藥的野當歸,更多的是造林時種上的相思樹和苦楝--除了日常的衛哨訓練和運補勤務,高登島上,人人都還認養數十株樹苗。長官有令,這是特地由台灣運來造林的,可要細心照顧了。樹苗上都要掛上個小牌子,寫上名字,以示負責的。這樹苗旁還必須圍上一圈由芒草桿加鐡線編成的圈欄,因為冬天刮著有如刀割,連人都受不了的東北季風。每天傍晚將當天使用過數回,由清澈變濁黃的水,仔細的澆在每人認養的樹苗上。三五個月後,相思、苦楝慢慢長高,抬頭望眼看去,那滿山遍野,儘是對故鄉的相思和回不了家的愁苦。

那一年冬天,野當歸的白花遍地開,謠指部的傳聞也成真: 國防部來了一紙命令,要一群梯數少於陸一特,又僅服役一年十個月的同伴,立刻打包退伍回家。有人歡天喜地的,因為馬上要回家了,而那些還有半年多的陸一特,卻被要求服完三年的兵役......那幾天晚上,高登島上傳出許多自裁意外--其中一個陸一特是我認識的人--他人長的瘦瘦黑黑的中等身材,脾氣好,臉上總是有笑容,總是鼓勵著大伙兒,期待著回家的日子--那天晚上,他拿了包不曉得那來的老鼠藥,吞了下肚。全連弟兄在隔天早上聽到這消息時,每個人的臉上的表情是那種很恨又很不甘心的表情....特別是他的同梯好弟兄們....

................"遙望伊人遠，長風吹思念，君當歸來胡不歸?" www.wretch.cc/blog/quaintbaby/7089835



僅以此文向役期長又勞苦功高的陸一特前輩們致敬!

lingering memories

A spy and a haunting prediction

This confirmed spy case rings a bell in history. Shi Lang (施琅), a defector from Zheng Chenggong's court, ended a Taiwanese regime that he once had sworn loyalty to. This was cited in a speech where the speaker implied that, due to Taiwan's geographic location, history may very well repeat itself again.

Retro: In this dark forest

On the edge of a humble pond, there is a fireball of many fireflies.

"How they glow in the dark!" marvels the bug, "me have not that light, and will never love or be loved?"

"Envy not." croaks the Invisible Toad, "See, this kind of love lies in glowing tails; once that's gone, nothing remains." And beneath that elusive ball of glow and row, struggle quite a lot who's lost that gloss.

"Besides," while munching on his new catch, adds this ugly crawler, "in this dark forest, a torch burning bright tempth all too many vicious fangs and a sticky tongue."

cold cold cold

搭上最近的流行感冒,工作告一段落,下班後想到診所拿藥,門外就看到人山人海的一群男女老少,全都在等著醫師診斷--個個流鼻水,咳呀咳的。家中二個小朋友,前陣子有打預防疫苗,身體反應還算好。診所外又有寒流要來,今年冬天,真是冷哦。

油菜花田

今年冬天特別冷,油菜花兒開的特別豔。這一片鵝黃黃的田,點亮了陰冷的天,也暖和了雙眼。

家庭修繕 DIY 網站

　　打算在春節前,更換衛浴廚房內維修多次或用不順手的設備-列了清單,也上網估價,其中有個網站http://fix.housefun.com.tw/ 詳細的將各項問題分門別類,提供影片示範如何處理家中的修繕問題。

　　左側的產品,是在特力屋,推銷員手上買的<多益得水垢鏽斑清洗劑>。效果很好－浴厠內累積很久,化學系的清潔劑清不乾淨的黃垢,五分鐘內清潔溜溜,還浴室厠所原來乾淨面目。更棒的是,這種清洗劑沒有化學清潔劑的嗆鼻氣味和危險性。無論是平時的清掃或年終大掃除,它絶對是個好幫手。

Nietzsche, needs no translation

Good news to those who're busy and couldn't spare time to read a thick book. This documentary gives the gist of a philosopher thinking in 50 minutes. Good presentation and analytical sharing from those who have studied Friedrich Nietzsche make this a treat for the mind.
